The Real Estalker mentioned that mega producer Brad Grey had bought a place in Bel-Air in April for $22 million. Now his Pacific Palisades home has hit the market. Grey and his wife Jill are divorcing. Their shingled home sits on two acres of grounds that include a large duck pond, pool and tennis court. The home itself was built by Grey in the late 1990s and has over 13,000 square feet of space. It's an Arts and Crafts inspired home molded to the Southern California lifestyle with large windows and an open floorplan. The home includes a formal living room and dining room as well as a more casual family room for lounging around. One curious feature is the den which has two large stainless steel refrigerator-like units which may be humidors. A large paneled office makes an excellent place for doing business at home. The lower level is built for recreation with a huge wine cellar, 35mm projection theater and a gym. The huge master suite includes a sitting room, terrace, wet bar, and dual walk in closets and dual bathrooms. The home has been staged which explains the blandly perfect decor. Like the Real Estalker, I tend to think the $29.99 million listing price is more than a bit steep even with the ample land. The water bill alone for all those lawns will certainly require a large bank account.
